Well, cygrunsrv can only do as much as Windows let it.  I'd suggest trying
to install and run a service as sshd_server using the pure Windows means,
and seeing if it succeeds.  If it doesn't, debug it at the Windows level.

BTW, I don't recall the Windows Event Log being mentioned anywhere in this
thread.  If I didn't miss it and it really wasn't mentioned, please
examine the Windows Event Log (both System and Application) for clues.
HTH,
